Training from the BACK of the Room (TBR) is Brain-based Facilitation for coaches, trainers, and facilitators who want every session to deliver lasting value without boring slides, overwhelming prep, or losing audience engagement.

Why it matters:

Engaging → participants are active, not passive
Sticky → learning is remembered and applied long after the session
Value-driven → ensures training investments deliver real impact, not wasted time or forgotten slides

The session covers 6 Brain Science Principles to make learning stick, a facilitation toolbox and 4 C's Instructional Design Facilitation Formula.

As a certified TBR trainer, I deliver internal and external sessions that don't just teach content - they build confident facilitators who can design and deliver engaging sessions themselves.

Keep teams focused on what matters

Builds transparency and trust

Speeds up feedback and learning

Enables healthier, sustainable delivery

Bring TBR into your organisation

I run private, in-house Training from the Back of the Room (TBR) workshops tailored to your teams, roles, and context. Ideal for organisations investing in facilitation skills, internal coaching, or Agile capability building.

Unlike traditional training, TBR is a train-the-trainer programme giving participants the tools and confidence to design and deliver their own engaging workshops or training sessions. That means your people don’t just attend training; they leave ready to run sessions that make learning stick, creating lasting value from your investment.

I'll turn your team into expert trainers in just 2 days.

"If training or learning something yourself, attend this course to learn effective ways of embedding the knowledge you need to learn. If giving a talk or lecture, I will stand by my hyperbole of saying these learning experiences will be at least 10 X more effective and engaging than that of traditional “Draining from the Front of the room”. - that is, the traditional training approach of talking at people rather than people actively learning."

-Rashee Harvey

"Transformative, interactive, engaging and informative with a truly safe space. High energy throughout the two days."

"Thank you Rachelle for your time, I appreciated the opportunity to come back and sanity check my assumptions and ideas as I take the learnings from the course into practice. Thank you for sharing 4C’s Map examples - this is exactly what I needed to help create my workshop 4C map. "
